Ashes was great for exposing multiple handle trolls: did you notice how he quotes ea poster's handle when he, Ashes, replied? Which is not worth the time to explain, much less why such sillyness comes to mind!!

It's nice when someone asks a question that they take the time to respond to the people who answered. I don't know how Reade found that old post but doesn't that feel like an eternity ago?

Clicking on your handle as it sits to the right of any post you make on the face page brings up your history.

Here's a thread that to me is an example of what you mention- jerlouvis was great at taking the time to respond, etc. Today seems as good as any to revisit this discussion of 'Here Comes Sunshine!'
Notice how little prompting Tell requires to get geeked up about the Lakers.

Ha! Guilty as charged!

Crap, making it clear that I am BY far the worst poster when it comes to undermining the Forum from its DEAD Destiny...

At least I wasn't contesting a Finals game or denying any self-evident truth, I suppose...

Your digressions are always wonderful and in fact, not digressions at all imo. You're just such a great sport about it when getting needled I couldn't resist.

Jerlouvis is another missed poster around here. Sometimes he would get too fired up when there was a disagreement about something (how can you not like the 2-23-74 HCS?) but he had good taste and instincts about the music.

I got a kick out of that old post about Tell being in the wrong decade. I think it was last year I watched the Lakers/Celtics ESPN special which reinforced my opinion that it was the best era of b-ball.

Thanks for those old thread posts- It's fun to look back at some of the crap I used to spew (like comparing Vince to Bill Laimbeer).

You're right about jerlouvis and I've aways appreciated your contributions as well.
I know right around the end of last March, beginning of April, they re-ran that Celtics-Lakers film on ABC. They were filling air time 'cause there was so little live sports to broadcast. I had never seen it.
Man it pretty much induced flashbacks. I was so deep into that stuff then I can't really compare it to anything else. The highs and lows were wild stuff. I'm torn as to whether it was better ball or just what was happening when I was of a particular age. But I'm certain of how there's no Larry Birds around these days.
How Tell managed to hitch his wagon to the loathsome purple and gold is beyond me.

I'm glad you brought this up. (The 1st sentence) It gave me the impetus to respond to something that's bugged me.
A few years ago I posted a link to a Sugaree, You kindly provided another link to another very nice version of the same tune. SDH also chimed in. I enjoyed what you posted but I never responded which has bothered me ever since (maybe I'm an over the top nuerotic).
I don't know but I admit to not being very good at message board etiquette, so I just want to say thanks belatedly.

Thanks for the belated post! Which Sugaree did I post about? Regarding the forum etiquette- sometimes its hard to reply to everyone, especially when you get a lot of responses but that's why I remembered Ashes, who took the time to respond to everyone on that old post.

It was this one;

Jerry at the Country Club in Reseda 5-20-84

I had listened to the Dead from '71 to the hiatus period. So I had to think his mid 80's music had to be affected by his health issues but that was surely not the case.
I picked up once again toward the late 80's but Jerry's guitar (at least with the Dead) in the early 90's had too much distortion to my liking.

I figured that was the one and it's still my favorite. Jerry's playing was affected by his health- more so in his timing but he never lost his ability to connect to the song he was playing.
